Orange County & L.A - 2007/08/24 06:59Hi all Im a surfer from Israel and around mid Sep I will be coming to LA to meet up with a dear friend and of course, surf! I have several issues on my mind. 1-Due to the high costs of bringing a board from here, how much does a new board cost? Im talking about a nice 6' or 6'1 AL merick or LOST. Dont wanna get ripped off... 2-I read that the water temp should be warm at that time..but what exactly are we talking about? whats the water temp? 3-I would like to try Trestles. How is it (power, length, localism)? 4-Apart Trestles and Huntington, any other worthy spots? I will be staying at my friends, Oragne county, so any spot near the area where he leaves will be cool THANK YOU all...see, from what I know LA has so much to offer, I dont know where to begin...

Re:Orange County & L.A - 2007/08/24 08:391. if you're looking at either of those you will be spending 5-600.00 u.s. there are a million shops in the area that sell a million different quality shapes.

2. the water is pretty nice at 67-72f depending where you go. i haven't used a wetsuit since june.

3. trestles is great if a little crowded. a bit crumbly, but always rippable and there are alot of peaks to choose from.

4. there are so many spots from o.c. up to ventura. i would love to tell you about them, but i still want to surf them. the wannasurf atlas does a great job of detailing them though.besides, the best part of the journey is discovery so enjoy and we'll see you in the lineup

Re:Orange County & L.A - 2007/08/24 16:34Thanks for the reply man1. Apart Lost & Merrick, could you reccomand on onother company that produces a good quality boards? 2. I'm with you on the discovering part of the trip, but somehow I get the feeling everything is so big and each spot will be so far of from one another....I surfed Sri Lanka & Brazil in the past and searching for good spots was awesome, but when it comes to the US, I dk, it feels different.

Re:Orange County & L.A - 2007/08/27 12:38If you are staying in Orange County I would suggest also Salt Creek for short board and Churches, close to Trestle.Check the forecast with wawewatch.com before deciding where to go. Temperature now is great. no wetsuit needed.Cheers.
